Monday, May 23. — Started at 6.45 A.M. and marched until 7.30 P.M. Very tiresome march, as we had to keep halting and then making a long stretch. Most of the men out of rations. Hancock immediately in our front, fighting for the ford over North Anna River. Hear that he has it. Warren has crossed on the right. Sharp firing there. Saw Captain Sleeper this evening. Crossed the Mat, Ta and Po rivers.[1]
[1] These, when united with the Nye, make the Mattapony River.
